Power cruiser from China

China is now attacking the power cruiser segment too. The first patent drawings of the Benda LF-01 were already available in July, and now it has been presented at the CIMA in China.

B.enda is a Chinese manufacturer that is not yet known in this country. Hangzhou-based Zhejiang Changling Binjiang Motorcycle Co., Ltd. (Benda Motor Group) has mainly built 50cc scooters, cargo tricycles and motorcycles with a maximum of 400 cm³ and two cylinders. Partnerships with well-known motorcycle manufacturers are not yet known.

In July, patent images appeared in China that show the design of a genuine power cruiser. The drawings show an elongated bike in the style of a Ducati Diavel. An inline four-cylinder engine is located in the frame made of cast aluminum elements. The designation BD 700 suggested a displacement of just 700 cm³. The engine structure is strongly reminiscent of the inline four-cylinder from the Honda CBR 650 – but with new side covers and modifications in the area of ​​the cylinder head.

Now the bike has been officially presented in China as the Benda LF-01. The in-line four-cylinder starts with 680 cm³ and develops 97 hp at 12,000 tours. The driver sits at a seat height of just 695 millimeters, from where he has to direct the 215 kilogram benda. The built-in rear wheel format is really extreme. 310 / 35-18 – even some cars go pale. In the front there is a 130/70 tire on a 19-inch rim. The top speed is limited to 180 km / h. It is shifted by a six-speed transmission.

What an exhaust…

Another striking feature is the under-engine exhaust, which opens into four square tailpipes directly in front of the rear wheel. The rear wheel itself is in an aluminum swing arm. The front wheel with double disc brake system and radially attached brake calipers is guided by a USD fork. The cockpit manifests itself as a TFT display on the extremely wide handlebar. In front of it hangs a round LED spotlight in a turbine design.

Benda is currently building a two-wheeler production facility in the Philippines. It is not yet known whether the Benda LF-01 will be manufactured there and in which markets it will ultimately be offered.
